I SHADE HOLDER FOR LIGHT UNITS.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Beit known that I, WILLIAM H. J ONES, a citizen of the United States,residing at Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady, Stateof New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade Holders forLight Units, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relatesto globe or shade holders and has forit's object theprovision of a simple, effective and comparatively inexpensive devicefor holding a shade in place.

The device is hereinafter fully set forth and claimed, reference beinghad to the ac-,

companying drawing inwhich Fig. 1 shows a form of the device for holdinga single piece shade or globe; Fig. 2 shows a form of the device forholding a two-piece globe, both of which pieces are'ot approximately thesame thickness; Fig. 3 shows a form of the device for holding atwo-piece globe,

one of the elements of which is thicker than the other.

Referring more in detail to the drawing,

the holder in the preferred form shown consists of an angular portion 2having shoulder 3 and an inner flange 4. About its periphery the holderis provided with suitably threaded holes 5 through whlch screws projectfor clamping the holder to anysuitglobe 6 may be provided with a flange7 adapted to rest in the shoulder 3. On the underside of the holderthere is provided a ring 8 which is secured to the holder by means ofsuitable screws 9 which are threaded into theflange 4. Between the ring8 and the shoulder 3'the flange 7 of the globe is wedged tightly inplace. stood that if desired any suitable form of bushing may beinserted between the globe I and the holder.

It will be understood that the neck portions 10 of the holder may bemade of differentlengths so as to accommodate globes of As indicated inFig. 1, the.

It will be undershown with a rather short neck. while the holder in.Fig. 3 is shown with a somewhat longer neck, and the holder in Fig. 2 isshown with a stilllonger neck in order to accommodate the two sectionsof the globe which are shown section in Fig. 3.

l/Vith a holder of this type, it is readily seen that the globe .may beremoved by merely removingthe ring 8. On the other asbeing'thicker thanthe hand, the globe may be readily clampedinto position by merelyslipping the globe into POSltlQil against the shoulder of the holder andsecuring the ring 8in' place by the screws.

What I claim'as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is,%

l. A shade holder for a light unit having an element formed with twoannular rings, 7

ment, and both flanges clamped in position by said washer.

2. A shade for a light unit consisting of two separate glass elementseach having a radial flange on one end and constructed so that oneflange may rest upon the other, both elements being flaring inform, saidelements constructed so that their rims on the oppositeside of theflanges come together thereby forming a closure with a hollowspacebetween the two elements, and means for clamping the two flangestogether.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this'9th day of August,1924'.

WILLIAM H. JONES.
